Millionaire Raffle makes two millionaires in the UK. But tonight

is special because, 18 millionaires will be made, guaranteed. In each

of these 18 cases, there is a cheque for �1 million. And if you

been automatically entered in to the UK Millionaire Raffle, and have

telling us how the prospect of 18 of you becoming millionaires

tonight has got the whole of the UK talking. Now, before you find out

whether you are one of tonight's lucky Millionaires, let's pop over

to Paris to see if you are about to become a multi-millionaire. It's

Congratulations if you are one of the 12 millionaires already on

tonight's rich list. Start planning how you're going to spend your new

fortune. And don't forget, we'll still be making six more of you

millionaires before the end of the show. Right, now it's time to bring

the whole of the UK together by way of a giant map, some facts, figures

and stats. Don't judge him, he's pretty cool as geeks go, it's

Christian Howes! May I say, what an attractive a map - what does it do?

attractive a map - what does it do? This one shows the National Lottery

lucky postcodes. These are at the top 10 lucky postcodes, finishing

up with Romford, which is the UK's most lucky postcode. 84 jackpot

winners in that area. They must be rubbing shoulders with millionaires

all the time in Romford! What are we going to do now? We have spent

the week analysing social media, and we have been looking at the hot

spots where people are chatting most, and we have put the top 10

here. This is chatting about Millionaire Raffle? Yes. People

have been saying all sorts of things. People were saying, I could

have a gold statue of myself in my lounge. Funnily enough, that is

what I want. And people saying things like, I would like a five-a-

side pitch. Each to their own. What is going to happen now up to this

map? We are going to do this in reverse order, we are going to

reverse order, we are going to Glasgow first, this is deferred

most chatty place. What can you tell us about Glasgow, Alan? Let's

not forget, Colin and Chris, the biggest ever UK EuroMillions

winners, they came from just outside Glasgow. I would class that

has just a little bit lucky, Alan. What has been happening online in

Glasgow this week? 33% of people have said, they would actually fit

electric gates if they won �1 million. And we know that only 20

people -- 20% of people across the UK have actually got electric gates.

Where is the next most chatty place? We are going to fly down to

Wales, to Newport. More than �167 million has been won in that area.

And what were they talking about in Newport? Newport is the 9th most

lucky postcode in the UK. What they were saying, they would hire a

cleaner, 40% of them. If I won, I would hire 50 cleaners, I hate

cleaning! Time to find out what is the most chatty place in the UK.

are going up to Liverpool, where 20.1% of people was the figure. It

is the sixth most lucky postcode. James Campbell, from Liverpool,

actually won �1 million on one of these big events. And there he is,

drinking bubbly. 28% of people say they would actually get a hot tub

or a jacuzzi. And 29% actually do have hot tubs and things like that.

Thank you very much for coming down today, Christian, but we need to

get back to business. OK, I think it's time that we add the final six

millionaires of the night to our already impressive mountain of

millionaires that have been created this evening. Will you be spending

the weekend writing lists of the things you've always wanted? Maybe

you want to escape this lovely weather we're having and head to

sunnier climes to contemplate your future plans whilst sipping a

cocktail by your private infinity pool...? That sounds bliss. Well,

whatever your idea of bliss is, start picturing it, because six

more of you are about to become OK, it's time to reveal the final

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds

Incredible. 18 millionaires, all in the UK, all in one night. Huge

congratulations if you were a winner this evening. Two more

millionaires will be made next week, so make sure you come back on

Friday to see if you are one of them. Thanks to Christian Howes for

bringing the whole of the UK to Lottery HQ in an orderly fashion.

Myleene Klass will be here tomorrow at 8pm, with all the weekend draws
